Reimforcing my sentiment that many of the people entrenched in social or political camps are all functionally the same person. They just happened to plant their flag in the camp they stumbled upon, but the morals and ideas of the camp mean little to them. At the end of the day, it isn’t about truth, conviction, or the public good, it’s about getting a win. Even if that means burning down trust, institutions, and integrity in the process.

It’s easy to imagine it like half of the world’s population is clones of the same piece of shit. The acid test for knowing if you are one is through behaviour, since ideals are just low value variables at this point.

Also The X-Files. The truth is out there, but only in Navajo Edition.

…why would a professional whatever make a remark for technology doing their job for them and making their career redundant?

Farmer, coder, driver, whatever. “I can’t wait for the bots to do this” is not a common muttering. Except maybe if in the c-suite…

This is another fine example of where assumptions get you no where on the internet. My job isn’t coding but it requires knowing to do it well. If I exit the job market, as per your request, I cannot be replaced by a coder. Believe it or not, most jobs that require a coding skillset are not about coding. Crazy, right? 😲

God, I’m so sick of coding. Please. Bring it.

As of right now though? 5-6 years fie the basics

Yeah, I dunno. I reckon you’re a husky owner who, whether you realise it or not, naturally fits with these kinds of breeds.

Spitz working dogs can (and honestly should) be a nightmare for the average household. But it’s fairly easy to meet their needs, and when they’re met, hey’re hands down the most loyal, intelligent, and rewarding dogs you can have. Don’t sell yourself short, I reckon you’re not lucky, you’re just a good husky owner.

The problem for huskies is they’re seen as the easy-access “cool wolf” looking dog. People don’t realise they’re part of a seriously wild working breed and forget their brains need constant challenges and proper jobs to do —, otherwise, they’ll go and invent their own.

I get a lot of praise for my lappies. People think their behaviour comes out of the box like that. Nooooope.They’re constantly given jobs and challenges. The enrichment from this is why they’re so well behaved and focused.

Edit: Also, can’t help myself…

🤣

No.

You can try get my Lapphunds inside if you want, they’ll just let themselves back outside to sleep in the snow all night. Huskies are no different.

My breed, and I would guess NA snow breeds are good to about -35C as well, or not far off. My dogs really start getting a pep in their step below -5. If there’s no snow, they’ll seek out concrete. Almost never do they use their beds.

It’s about half a million active users. So, yeah, a tiny city’s worth.

Though things often start snowballing this way and Windows 10 end of life is likely see see a jump.

Never got the buzz around cheesecke.

I’ll have a bite and be like, “Oh, that’s a bit yum.”

By bite three, “Ugh, this again?”

Can never finish a slice. Something about it just gets old and unappetizing really fast. If it’s going to taste really unhealthy, it can’t also taste really boring!

I dunno. I view my dogs as companions. Yeah, they need me to look after.them like they’re children, but I need them to take care of me in the wilderness, protect the house, cheer me up, entertain guests, tow me on the longboard.

There’s no association with them and a human child for me. If anything dog ownership has shifted my mentality into the symbiotic relationship of a pack. I think being stuck thinking of them as children would make for some very miserable times and bad behaviour from both the owner and the dog.

I have the confidence level turned down too but lately it doubles down on itself.

The usual conversation…

VI: “You could do this.”
Me: “That won’t work because XYZ.”
VI: “No, you can definitely do that. XYZ has nothing to do with it.”
Me: pastes it’s own suggestion in.
VI: “Almost, but that won’t work because of XYZ.”

It’s most notorious one is adding an s to Table.AddColumn() then proceeding to make a full snippet around this newly made up function. This specific example is so regular it’s become a joke at work for giving someone an unhelp response,

“What do you want to do for lunch today?”

“Have you tried table add columns?”

Especially when the worst that could happen is nothing which is exactly what’s going to happen if OP says no. Literally can’t go backwards no matter what, but it’s possible they could go forward.

Well…unless something psycho happens, I guess. Then OP will suffer greatly, go very backward, traumatised for life etc. etc. etc…

Nah, they’ll be fiiiine.

I just imagine them also woob-woob-woobing off to freedom Zoidberg-style.

I routinely get a Samsung notification telling me to agree to some new agreement thing. I swipe it away. It just reappears in 48 hours or so. I swipe it away. We’ve danced this dance for years.

I don’t know what it’s for, I don’t care, and things are just fine as is. There’s nothing it it for me so, no.

Modern takes on old isms always tend to directly oppose the whole point of the original idea. Cherry pickers do that with everything over time. Stoicism has a lot to say about the weakness of being a cause of harm to others and to nature. But I’m sure they glossed over those parts, only attracted to the “Me, me, me.” and never thinking why.
